Under some unknown sense of crisis, he continued to practice swordsmanship, but his talent was only that of an average person, so his training speed was very slow.

During this period, he saw that countless people like him began to use Kazan Syndrome or the power of ghosts and gods to enhance their own power due to hatred and other reasons.

He didn't do those things because he knew clearly that these powers came at a price. Either he would become crazy, or he would be in the company of ghosts and gods all day long. He firmly believed that only his own power was his own, so he did not fight with those

People who make rapid progress always choose shortcuts and continue to practice swordsmanship.

But because his family's financial situation was not enough to allow him to practice swordsmanship completely off-duty, he began to take on the task of guarding the caravan.

Finally, during a security mission, he was outnumbered and died.

At the moment of death, Li Ke felt the spinning feeling. He suddenly opened his eyes, and what appeared in front of him was the ceiling of his house, and a pair of caring eyes.

At the same time, he felt a warm current entering his body, making him feel that his whole body was soaking in hot springs, and his body also felt an unprecedented sense of relaxation.

But immediately after, he felt a pain throughout his body.

Training, swordsmanship training, memories of Qi cultivation, countless days and nights of life, and finally, the fear of death.

This feeling made him very confused, and he couldn't remember whether he was Li Ke who traveled to Ionia or the down-and-out swordsman living in the continent of Arad.

But just as he was struggling painfully, a pair of hands touched his forehead, and a force like a breeze entered his soul, calming the waves that were constantly rising in his soul.

"How are you, kid."

The old voice came out, and Li Ke's pain slowly dissipated under the breeze. Li Ke finally opened his eyes and looked at the familiar figure.

After taking a few deep breaths, he finally came to his senses. The memories and habits of Swordsman Arad began to fade rapidly, but when his fingers twitched, he still subconsciously used the power that the swordsman had.

The power of Qi.

Feeling this, Li Ke's pupils suddenly shrank, and he immediately stopped using his energy as if instinctively, sat up from the bed, and bowed his head to the elder in front of him to thank him.

"I'm fine, Elder Suma. Thank you for taking care of me."

The old man looked at Li Ke, who was still sweating on his forehead. Li Ke had fainted in the corridor of the dojo. Although there was nothing wrong with his body, he could not wake up, which made him very worried.

But now, Li Ke finally woke up, and he could breathe a sigh of relief.

"The doctor said that you were overworked and your body was damaged, so you fell into coma... Also, do you have any other discomforts?"

Taking a bowl of medicine from Yongen who was standing on the side, Elder Suma handed it to Li Ke. When Li Ke took the medicine bowl, he also saw Yasuo, who was supposed to help the elder with these things, leaning against the door.

while playing with the butterflies on her shoulders.

"Thank you, elder. I don't have any other discomfort."

Drinking all the soup in the bowl, the slightly bitter and refreshing taste made him understand that it was an herb to soothe people. After drinking it, his drowsy feeling disappeared a lot, and along with the magic in the medicine

The energy began to play a greater role, and his feeling of drowsiness began to disappear.

"That's good. Don't be busy with the dojo during this period, and don't train sword skills anymore. Just practice more."

The elder sighed. Li Ke was a hard-working child, very smart, and learned things very quickly. However, his natural frailty and lack of any magic qualifications meant that he would not be able to become a qualified swordsman.

Other children, even if they cannot learn wind-controlling swordsmanship, can use magic to communicate with nature, or use magic to strengthen their bodies and use some small spells, but this child has no choice but to rely on his own body strength to use swordsmanship.

.

But he has no magic power, and he doesn't have any magical talent. It's as if he is not an Ionian.

"Yes, elder."

Li Ke nodded obediently, and the elder gave some other instructions and left with Yong En. He still had to go to the village to deal with some things, so he couldn't stay with Li Ke all the time.

On the contrary, Yasuo, who was supposed to be a bodyguard, stayed by Li Ke's side and still leaned against the door, looking at the scenery in the courtyard boredly.

Just when Li Ke thought he was about to leave, Yasuo suddenly spoke.

"You don't have to work so hard."

Yasuo, who was leaning against the door, considered his words for a moment before continuing to speak.

"With your qualifications, no matter how hard you work, you are not enough to become a swordsman. There is no need to keep working hard. If you keep working hard, it will be in vain."

Although they were carefully considered words, Yasuo's words were still very hurtful.

If you judge him based on his arrogant character in the past and his character of mercilessly mocking losers, then there is no doubt that Yasuo is mocking losers.

But Li Ke knew that was not the case, Yasuo just wanted to persuade him not to take the wrong path.

"But Elder Suma has always had expectations for me, and I also like swordsmanship very much."

Li Ke picked up his sword from the side of the bed and drew it out.

But when he drew out the sword this time, Li Ke felt a strange feeling. It seemed that the sword he had used for two or three years had changed its appearance, and...

Much lighter?

The sword will not become lighter on its own.

In other words, his power has increased.

Thinking of the warm current before and the 'qi' used subconsciously, Li Ke had some guesses.

Everything I 'dream' before may be true.

Before time travel, Li Ke had read countless novels. Of course, he had read novels about simulators and the like, so it was not difficult to guess where his sudden strength and the inexplicable 'qi' came from.

"But if you become a craftsman, or a debater, or even a businessman, I think you can live a better life. Although the expectations of your elders are important, you can't do it with your qualifications. No matter how hard you try, it will only be in vain.

Just toil and scars.”

Seeing this fellow disciple who had damaged his body through sword practice, Yasuo felt extremely sorry. Li Ke was one of the rare seniors who could face him with a normal heart.

In the past, he didn't care, but after seeing Li Ke fall, he realized that he actually cared about this person who would never flatter him or criticize him behind his back.

So he really didn't want to see him die because he took a path that didn't belong to him.

"Ah, I will consider it."

Li Ke just wanted to get rid of him quickly, so he just smiled.

"ha."

Without commenting, Yasuo stood up from the door and walked out of the courtyard. But in his heart, he regarded Li Ke as a delusional person who didn't know what the world was up to and was determined to have his own way.

"Think about it for yourself. People who don't know their own abilities will never end well."

Leaving behind his last words of advice, Yasuo disappeared into Li Ke's courtyard.

Li Ke watched him leave without much discomfort in his heart. Yasuo's character is just like this, extremely arrogant and arrogant, but he has had smooth sailing since he was a child, and he does have such capital.

And there's nothing wrong with what he said.

In the past, except for this kind of thing, he might have doubted his limited qualifications and given up on swordsmanship, but now...

The sword light flashed, and a clear sound appeared in the room, but disappeared as Li Ke sheathed the sword.

When the sword completely entered the scabbard and the sword sound like a dragon's cry completely disappeared, the candle five meters away from Li Ke shook for a moment, and then in a breeze, the candle wick broke and silently fell into the wax oil.

There was a splash of beautiful and flickering candle flowers.

"really……"
